Students Demonstrate Teamwork
In Innovative Technology Class
Ten middle and high-school
students have spent the month of July
in an innovative program designed to
introduce them to careers in
technology and engineering. Working
out of Enloe’s new engineering lab,
the students have spent five hours a
day working in electronics, robotics,
computer aided design, computer
graphics, aeronautics, and laser and
fiber optic communications.
The students each assembled a
nine-inch color television, while lear
ning about broadcasting and receiv
ing principles. This project
demonstrated teamwork, attention to
detail, and complexity
characteristic of careers in
technology fields.
Participants visited a summer pro
gram in science and engineering at
the NCSU School of Engineering and
toured IBM, DuPont, and En
vironmental Protection Agency
facilities at the Research Triangle
Park. They met with engineers at
each facility. They also visited
classes at Wake Technical Institute.
The participants discussed prepara
tion required to gain entry into
technology careers.
Eight middle-school and two high
school students were selected for this
program from students nominated by
their counselors. The students were
not selected on the basis of grades
and achievement, but on the basis of
potential and interest. The intent of
the program is to motivate students
to pursue careers in engineering and
technology.
The program was funded through
vocational education funds from the
State Department of Public Instruc
tion and Wake County Schools.
On Friday, July 28, from 10 a.m. to
11 a.m., students will be
demonstrating their projects in the
Enloe High School engineering lab,
Room 124 W. Enloe High School, 128

James Brown Moved To
Higher Security Unit
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP i— James
Brown may have hurt his chances for
parole by having almost $40,600 in
checks and cash in violation of state
Department of Corrections regula
tions, a spokesman said.
"A violation of prison regulations
could very well cost him some of the
time he may have already built up,"
said department spokesman Francis
X. Archibald. “That could affect the
length of time he’ll serve on his
sentence.”
Brown, 56, of Beech Island, was
moved last Wednesday to a higher
security prison for violating the
policy concerning the amount of cash
inmates are allowed to possess, Ar
chibald said.
The spokesman said among the
things the parole board considers are
whether a prisoner has followed the
rules while in jail.
“Everyone knows the rules when
they come in, and they're given a
written book with them," Archibald
said.
The singer was found to have more
than $40,000 in certified checks from a
Georgia bank in his possession, and
almost $600 in cash, Archibald said.
Brown was moved last week from
State Park Correctional Facility, a
minimum-security institution, to
Stevenson Correctional Institution, a

medium-security facility, where he is
locked in a cell by himself, Archibald
said.
Department regulations say no
prisoner may have in excess of $50.
That's to make sure that inmates
can’t plan escapes or pay for other
crimes or things of that nature,” Ar
chibald said.
Archibald said Brown would re
main locked in a cell by himself while
department officials investigate such
things as where Brown got the money
and why he had it. The spokesman
said he didn’t know how long the in
vestigation might take.
Brown is serving a six-year
sentence tor aggravated assault and
failing to stop for police during a
chase across the Georgia-South
Carolina border on Sept. 26. His
parole date is May 12, 1991.
Brown, known as the “Godfather of
Soul, had such hits as “Papa’s Got a
Brand-New Bag,’’ and more recently,
“I’m Heal’’ and “Living in
America.”

Where

“There was a common
bond,” says Lt. Governor Lawrence
Douglas Wilder of Virginia,
speaking of his college experi
ence. “We all knew who we were
and where we needed to go, and
what we needed to do to get there.”
Wilder, the nation’s highest-rank
ing Black elected state official,
attributes that world-beating
attitude to the inspiring role
models he found at Virginia Union
University, one of America’s Black
colleges.
In an atmosphere of high
intellectual quality, young Douglas
Wilder discovered what he calls,
“the high possibility of the
individual "And following in a
tradition that has produced
outstanding scholars, profes
sionals and public servants, he
went on to a brillant career as an
attorney, state senator and civic
activist. Is it any wonder that,
though they enroll only 20% of
Black college students, Black col
leges produce 40% of Black college
graduates?
When you’re considering
colleges, doesn’t it make sense to
consider the ones that educated
achievers like Lawrence Douglas
Wilder? Attending one could lead
to a great future. x
